I have been planning a Threadripper build for, well… since 3rd gen came out. I want to do an Unraid build with a Windows VM, Linux VM, and potentially a Mac VM (thanks for the idea, Wendell) using pcie passthrough with it’s own NVME and video card. Easy enough.
Now, I want to be able to game on the Windows VM, and the video and io isn’t a concern, but this is what I’m wondering.
Would me isolating the fastest ccx via Clocktuner and giving the Windows VM the best ccx (let’s say 8 cores, 16 threads) be the equivalent of a R7 3700, minus any ram penalty?
I’d probably give the Linux VM 6/12 and make it like a R5 3600, then the rest of the VMs would just live without passthrough.
Thoughts?
